The report function must clearly be broken.

Can only report once every 60 second, some have now been removed (that was relatively fast this time). I think it is important to journal that this is chronic problem, and reporting isnt a long term solution imho, on other sites these posts would be downvoted by first viewers into oblivion but that idea isnt too welcome here, instead several hours and hundreds of views later on WHT it is eventually reported and dealt with. In the absence of downvoting, perhaps some user moderation, i.e. for a new user <10 posts, 5 memebrs with >100 posts can vote to delete/move a post (when reached 5 its gone) and user is temporarily suspended until moderators can review and/or take-futher-action

WHT isn't Digg, nor is WHT Reddit.
Giving users power to moderate here would be an absolute disaster. You obviously don't understand quite what it takes to run a forum the size of WHT, when most of the staff are volunteers. There is user moderation, by using the report function, because where users can be anywhere at any given time, a sole moderator cannot.
Perhaps you should create a constructive thread outlining what you think could be done better, rather than continuously coming back to this single thread to call out everyone that you personally think should be banned because you don't approve of how they post.
Sure, some people are legitimately spammers, however some such as top_hosting that you're absolutely sure is here to do nothing more than spam and get their signature around, seems just like a language barrier to me personally, and I'm sorry that you have an issue with how everyone else posts.
If I typed in broken English would you assume I'm a spammer too?0

The frequency isn't increasing, it's been the same for years and will continue for years to come.
There is no need for a "journal", the report button works fine. You don't need to report each post by a member, a simple "check all his/her posts" in a single report will suffice0
